Many tech companies are now more willing to leverage AI to detect various kinds of CSAM contents such as nudity and abusive comments.
US
tech giant Google
announced on Monday that it is employing a new Artificial
Intelligence (AI) technology to combat online spreading of contents
involving child sexual abuse.
Google
said its cutting-edge AI
technology uses deep neural networks for image processing to help
discover and detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online.
The
new tool based on the deep neural networks will be made available for
free to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other "industry
partners," including other technology companies, via a new
Content Safety API service that could be offered upon request, Xinhua
reported.
"Using
the Internet as a means to spread content that sexually exploits
children is one of the worst abuses imaginable," Google
Engineering Lead Nikola Todorovic and Product Manager Abhi Chaudhuri
wrote in the company's official blog post.
The
new AI technology will significantly help service providers, NGOs and
other tech firms to improve the efficiency of CSAM detection and
reduce human reviewers' exposure to the content, said the two Google
engineers.
"Quick
identification of new images means that children who are being
sexually abused today are much more likely to be identified and
protected from further abuse," they noted.
"We've
seen firsthand that this system can help a reviewer find and take
action on 700 per cent more CSAM content over the same time period,"
they added.
Many
tech companies are now more willing to leverage AI to detect various
kinds of CSAM contents such as nudity and abusive comments, and
Google's announcement represents its fresh commitment to fighting
online CSAM contents by sharing "the latest technological
advancements."
